“Good old Rachmaninov never misses”
“Good old Rachmaninov never misses” as we know from the hit film “The Seven Year Itch”. What once made Marilyn Monroe go weak at the knees is still an emotional rollercoaster ride for a young pianist today. Kristina Miller throws herself into the dreaded Piano Concerto No. 3 with her dazzling technique and the courage to stir up the most extreme of emotions. Great cinema with star of the podium Patrick Hahn as director.
Kristina Miller was born into a family of musicians in Moscow as a piano prodigy and, after only a short period of training, made her first appearances with an orchestra at the age of eight. The award-winning pianist, who won the Steinway Prize from Steinway & Sons in Munich in 2006, has toured across several continents, and her debut CD, released in 2008, has been broadcast several times on BBC Radio.
Recreation is special in many ways: consisting of musicians whose nationalities range from Japan to Venezuela, most of the members received part of their training in Graz. After its formation in 2002, the collective has played in unique halls such as the Alte Oper Frankfurt and has worked with outstanding conductors.
Opera composer at the age of twelve, general music director at 26. This very young Graz native is a much-admired phenomenon on the international classical music scene. In addition to fresh charisma and concentrated competence, he is extraordinarily versatile: as a profound accompanist and jazz pianist, Patrick Hahn knows no boundaries.
